Abstract

This work had as its theme the Participatory Budget and openness in democratic popular participation in government decision-making, as well as its implementation in Osasco since its inception in 2005. This monograph addressed a case study of application of semi structured questionnaire conducted with coordination of participatory municipal budget, along with analysis of information available on the City Hall site. As a result, it was found that the participatory budget is introduced greater transparency and accountability to the population as well, was not a social facilitator to check on access to information that is intended to the exchequer, which impairs the consolidation of this instrument as effective democratically once popular participation proved quite restricted.
